Is W2008 ready for production? really ready?

August 24, 2008

OK I'm not experienced in admin - my background is software development - but

I run a small business and do my own admin.

I say this because a few times some quirky things happened a week ago (can't

remember the details) but yesterday I had to install NTBACKUP utility twice

(this is the special one from MS to allow restoration of NTBACKUPed files

from W2003) as after the first time I installed it it would not run due to a

missing DLL.

Similarly over the last 3 days I have been trying to register MSSOAP30.DLL

without success. I have tried everything - I posted a thread on this forum -

a thread on Experts-Exchange - everything.

I am going on holidays tomorrow so I thought "I'll give it one more try

before I go".

I DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN "RUN" (the command string was sitting there

from last use) - I just clicked on OK - IT REGISTERED!!!

I'm pleased but also shocked.

Do we just wait for SPx?
